I had never made or eaten Huevos Rancheros before so was unsure of the combination of salsa and eggs. I'm a convert now :) These were easy to make and looked so cool in the tortilla cups. We both really enjoyed this for brunch yesterday. Thanks so much for posting Bluemoon! Made exactly as written for ZWT5.

We enjoyed this. I followed the recipe exactly except I didn't have any lime juice. We used to live in south texas and this breakfast took us back. Thanks for a yummy breakfast that I know we will repeat. Made for gimme 5.

This was so good! I used black beans instead of kidney beans just because I can't stand them. I also added a little cilantro. I baked mine for about 15 minutes to get the eggs good and done. I don't like a runny or soft eggs at all. My kids really loved these. I think I'll add some breakfast sausage next time. We also used sour cream. This was a really nice breakfast for Sunday morning. Made and Reviewed for Please Review My Recipe tag - Thanks! :)

What a fun way to make Huevos Rancheros. I used refried beans with chili and lime. After filling the tortilla cups I heated the rest of the bean mixture in the microwave for about 1 and 1/2 minutes then stirred in the lime juice and avocado. I really enjoyed the beans that way. I did not have big tins and used the regular size but I want to get bigger ones for the next time I make this. Great breakfast!
